The World Champion Brand from Italy

How could the significance of the Dainese brand be described? Like this perhaps: Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, Toni Mang, Kenny Roberts, Freddie Spencer, Max Biaggi, Valentino Rossi. The list of world champions in Dainese outfits reads like a Who's Who of Grand Prix Sports for the last 50 years. Or you could name the groundbreaking innovations: The first back protector (1978), the first knee slider (1980), the first aero back hump (1988), the first autonomous airbag system (2000). This list could also be extended ad infinitum. One thing is certain: Dainese has revolutionised the motorcycle world time and again and is still making motorcycle riding better and safer.

Most traditional, high-quality outer material with cult status for motorcycle clothing and accessories. Unmistakable in its natural, high-quality look, the strong image, ideally suited to both figure-hugging and highly functional designs. The biker's "second skin" still has the edge over any textile material when it comes to safety and resistance to abrasion and tearing. The way the material stretches as the clothing is worn means that leather clothing adapts to the body contours ideally, thus also guaranteeing that protectors fit optimally. Leather clothing should therefore always be bought with a close fit. Impregnation, leather oil and surface coatings guarantee good weather protection and a degree of rainproofing, but unfortunately also limit the breathability. Relatively heavy, but enthusiasts value this as a "quality feature". Looked after properly, it is very durable. Because leather does not itself offer much thermal insulation, the other features of the garment, or the base layers of clothing, must provide some help here.
